Why, without the one person that made it relevant for almost thirty years, does anyone still care about that show? It's just a stupid daytime celebrity talk show that no one with a job or brain should give a fark about.

So nothing's changed, is what you're saying. Philbin . . . how he ever made a career in broadcasting is beyond me. The only people I knew who watched the show treated it as a sideshow.

Meyers can't help but be an improvement, but there's still not much to the show.

twiztedjustin:He gets to stay in NY, and now broadcast his liberal bias 4 more times a week than his old job.

Yeah, really.

Shut the fark up, Dennis. You had your time on the update desk and an HBO show. Not our fault 9/11 made you soil your tighty brownies and you started churning out hackneyed right wing crap instead of actual jokes.

I don't know this kind of makes sense to me. After reading the Live from New York book, working on SNL sounds like a super grind. I can totally see it being the kind of thing that is not so hard to do when you are younger, but when you start to get older, the crazy weeks where you barely leave your office, and don't get to see your family is probably super draining. It is probably especially hard for someone like Seth who is the head writer and probably has to be there all the time. By comparison a job like live where you work for a couple of hours a day in the morning, chat about bullcrap with Kelly Ripa for a bit and then ask celebrities pre-approved questions, and then have the rest of the day to yourself sounds pretty easy. Especially since I read somewhere that if he takes the job he would step down as SNL head writer but keep the Weekend Update Job. To me that doesn't sound too bad.
